Apparently I'm not the only person who's been having problems with their computers today.
The National Trust, the Inland Revenue and the National Insurance Office all told me that they could not help me with my problems because their computers were down, so I have to ring them back tomorrow.
Something I didn't mention was the new cordless telephones I have bought. They are quite nice - I bought a twin pack, so I can now call Leela's handset up when she's in the other room.
